Do you want to impress your friends and family? Just casually tell them these facts that seem likely, but are 100% false! -The air inside tires is called "flate," hence to "inflate" and "deflate" -It is illegal in most countries to erect roadside memorials to those who have died in traffic accidents -Unlike with cows, goats actually need to be killed in order to be milked -The most common mineral on the moon is salt And before one of you clever jerks says "You are a good poster lol!", the facts must be at least somewhat believable.

Excellent, a sibling thread for "Stuff You Can't Believe You Just Figured Out [where often things the poster had just figured out are not in fact at all correct]" For example the other day I "figured out" rapper Cardi B's name is a play on Cartier! it is not but now you can impress your friends with your inaccurate pop culture savvy!

-Styrofoam is made by heavily compressing sea sponges into tiny spheres. The density achieved through this process allow the sponges to survive for thousands of years as coffee cups, packing material, and low-grade soundproofing. -You may have not heard of Albert Bum, but you surely know his creation. He was the first person to record and distribute music. After many years of trial and error, he perfected his method and named his invention after himself, calling it the "Album."

You can tell if someone’s lying to you by asking a yes/no question. If they blink BEFORE but not after answering, they are most likely being dishonest.

Did you know that Baby Ruth (the candy bar) actually was named by Babe Ruth himself? Ferraro just asked him if they could use his name and he agreed no questions asked. Apparently he thought it'd make a good dugout snack.

John F Kennedy’s middle name was actually Lawrence. Before he became president, he joined the Screen Actor’s Guild, and there was already a person being credited as John Kennedy and another being credited as John L Kennedy. So he registered using Fitzgerald as his middle name, after his grandfather:

You can hear a phone call on a pots line if you put one wire on your tongue and press the other wire next to your ear through bone conduction. But only if you do so before an incoming call.

Planets orbit around the sun. They actually orbit around the barycenter of solar system in general and more specifically the barycenter of the planet in question and the sun, which is generally not the center of the sun. In the case of Jupiter the barycenter is actually outside of the sun.

Coffee tables used to store / be made of coffee. Tulips used to be used as fleshlights are because they are kind of like a human's lips. The first person to invent glasses created a harness holder for glasses on their face. One day, their friends pulled a prank and replaced the glasses with mugs. That's where the insult comes from, "you look like a mug" dates back to that.

The reason the sound of nails on a chalkboard is so ear splitting actually has very little to do with the frequency the sound plays at (dolphin cries for example play on a similar wavelength). In actuality, it's an automatic stimulus response in humans that dates back to pre-evolution methods of torture. After all, hearing was one of the most important senses to have back in that era and losing it was likely a very harsh punishment indeed.

The reason dogs stick their heads out of the windows of moving cars is because the air moves too fast past them for them to get any molecules in their noses. They're just constantly bombarded with so many smells all the time that they love the occasional moment of what is basically olfactory peace and quiet.
